I added a little, black and white polka dot bow to my "Bucket Filling" Praise bucket, and made a new sign to hang up.

My kids can fill out a Praise Note, place it in the yellow bucket, and then we read them on Friday. Kids keep their Bucket Filling Praise Notes in their little envelope.

This week I have two Professional Development Days that I am attending. The one today was on Core Technologies to use with our 1:1 devices. It was AMAZING! I'm looking forward to receiving our Chrome books, and having my 2nd graders try some of the things I have been researching and learning about.

On Thursday I'm attending a Math training day. I'm such a life long learner! =) I LOVE learning new things and trying them out.

It's going to be a fun adventure this year. Enjoy the rest of your summer, or have a wonderful First Day if you are beginning soon.

The second thing I have been working on is finishing all of my bulletin boards. I will post more of them when I show my classroom reveal. This board is my "Mrs. Finch's" board, where I share personal pictures and hang up some teacher gifts I have received throughout my teaching years.

Finally, I have been working on changing my white board into my "Writer's Workshop" board.
